I really dont have anything to add to what I said a month ago.

I can see the point, but not the compelling argument.

First, It's not like we cannot move a URI in SH.  Sh-string are
perfectly capable of that, and I put sh-binary in the spec as
"Kernighan-Escape"[1], should that fail.

Second,  If demarcating URIs in SH was important, somebody would
surely have spotted the deliberate mistake in the strawman syntax
I proposed a month ago ?

So no, I'm 100% with Mark that URIs are not worth another several
months of nothing much happening to this draft.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
